80/20 principle

Would you like watching loki's final episode while hammering 3 nails on the same wall?Then why do that when in a conversation?

Focus on the other person 80% of the times and on yourself 20% of the times.

  1. Focus on them 100%. 100
  2. Let them talk 80% of the time and minimalise your side of talking to 20% or less.
